IMPROVEMENT IN' BLACKNG-BOX HOLDER.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

Be it known that I, HEMAN B.- HAMMON, 'of Bristolville, county of Trumbull, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Blacking- `Box Holders; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and clear description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and letters of reference marked thereon, forminga part of this.

specification.

My invention relates to a novel arrangement ofpaits, which, when combined together, form a useful article of manufacture.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation. f

G, Figure 2, is a perspective view of the holder, with the handle broken o".

L L are hooks for the box to rest against.

O, Figure 3, is an inverted view of the forked slide.

A W are prongs, which are scolloped at their base,

H, so that they will overreaeh the ilangefr of the box, to prevent its lifting up.

B, Figure 4, is a view of the key, and

S, Figure 5, a view of the key-hole.

The handle of ther holder G is provided with several key-holes, l and 2, so that, in connection with the Slot e, the forked slide can be adjusted to different-sized boxes. s

The key-holes have an incline on the under side, as shown bythe inverted sectional, fig. 5, at S.

By the #employment of the key-holes and key B, iig. 4, the necessity of cutting a thread on a thumbscrew, andin the holes of a` handle for the same, as would otherwise be thecase, are wholly dispensed with, which is a great saving of time and labor; and

' furthermore, by my arrangement, a cheap, durable,

and useful article of manufacture is obtained, ready to japan -and finish as soon as it is from the tum- Witnesses: JACOB NORTON,
